medium size, but so very thin that he
looks tall lie dresses poorly, almost
shabbily, and his well.worn dark frock

Like William NJ. Evarts and other
bralny men, he wears shocking hat.
II is a silk one, with the lustrc gone

He has not brought his family to
Washington, but lives in modest
room at a hotel. He has been
heard to express regret for
having accepted the unsatisfactory
place that he now holds as head Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
President Angel of Ann Arbor Is taller
than Judge Cooley and younger. He
wears better clothes and seems to enjoy
himself more. He Is well built man,
and has n pleasant. open face, covered
with silky brown beard, and he has
thin hair OF the same color. He Is very
dignified and easy In conversation, but
quite naughty at times. lie went to
Michigan from Brown University, aud ,

General Grant had just been ap.

his capacity as military leader, as he
himself stated In his letter to the Ad

Quincy, ILL.,, where he demonstrated
his ability TO practically prepare troops
for active service. While on his way
10 Quincy he was ordered to go to
Ironton, Mo-, and there look after the
railroad property at that place. AT that
time there was quite post situated In
the valley under the command of b.
Gratz Brown, there being fort
on Shepherd Mountain and one on
Pilot Knob. The latter was after.

at Ironton Grant went Into camp to
await transportation by boat. Here
commenced his real military career. Up
to this time his ambition had not as.
pired higher than the position Of col.

while he had been under discussion at
Washington. the entire delegation rec

President, who conferred upon him
his first star, the commission dating
May II, 1861, nearly month before he
was appointed colonel. and before he
even applied for the command. He
was totally unaware OF what was going
on regarding him at headquarters, and
1t was while sitting under the old tree u
messenger rode up TO the camp and
delivered the colonel the papers which
made him general and started him on

Jerome Bonaparte, who has been
stopping at one Of the quiet uptown
hotels few days, Is one Of the most
reserved and exclusive of men, says the
New York Sun. He has the aristo.
cratic manner, but Is not naughty, and,
though he spends few weeks every
year in Paris, yet he expects to make
Washington his home and to end his
days there. His home there is fine
one. but he does not entertain very
much except very blue blooded per
sons. He is thorough horseman and
good reinsman, and when he has
charge of u spirited team many persons
fancy the expression on his face is very
suggestive of that which some of the
pictures OF his great uncle, Napoleon,
have. When in New York Mr.. Bona

EpIToR CRITIC: OF course know that
an editor In the United States is the freest
Of mankind, and, like the saucy wind, can
blow on whom he chooses. still, just
thinking and right-minded editors allow
their course to be controlled by the decen
cies and prophecies, and.even In the most
public matters regard the rights of others
though not, perhaps, clear majority of the
whole.
There are many people In Washington
who, like myself, are good and faithful
American citizens, though not born on this
soil, and who do not object to the freest
expression of opinion about all subjects
native and foreign, yet who do not approve
OF an American newspaper which psndGrs

DIR. Mayhem, of New Bedford, Mass,
says; "Having prescribed many thou-
sands of Ayers Pills, in my practice,
can umhcsitatingly pronounce them the
hest cathartic in use"
The Massachusetts State Assaycr, DIR.

TIVE

Mr.. Kaulukou has received deserved
commentator for the administrative
ability and devoted energy he has
brought to the duties Of the Marshal Of
the Kingdom. After serving in that
capacity for several months there has
beer no desire manifested by the pub
lie for better man TO fill the position
1t is a pity, then, that he has chosen TO
risk his efficiency and consequent
acceptance in that office by returning
to the arena of politics, This is said
apart from the constitutional question,
which it is really useless to raise with a
Legislature in existence ready to tram.
pie on anything and everything stand.
ing in the way Of a majority of its
members holding paid positions for
political services to corrupt rulers.
The only utility in raising constitu-
tional questions in this realm under
present circumstances would be to do
so with the full and united purpose Of
all independent men to contest them
to the goal Of emancipation from the
embargoes that now absolutely block
the way to good government. Mean
while it is generally believed that the
Marshal has been set up as representa-
tive for constituency with an uIteriol
object in view having reference to the
design Of an extra session. There ]:
not the slightest hope Of preventing
him taking his seat while still holding
his executive Office. Therefore, al
that may be attempted on the part o

AN EXTRA SESSION.

1t is generally believed that an extra
session of the Legislature, to initiate
the Loan Act 10 the amount Of several
additional millions, is a foregone con-
clusion, There is no use in seeking in
formation on the matter FROM Minis
tiers, as some are said to have done, for
the Ministers, even during The ses-
sion of the Legislature, could
not tell one day what policy they
might be compelled to father on the
following day II, however, any Of
those who know the backstairs route
to the power that sways the destinies
OF this Kingdom have the welfare Of
the nation at heart, they will let it be
known in the secret council chamber
of the throne that the expense Of an
extra session will be thrown away for
any such purpose as that alleged
There was hard enough work expended
in having the present Loan Act
trimmed down to a size and shape ac-
ceptable to the English capitalists.
With no great emergency calling for
extraordinary means Of increasing the
loan, and With the information that
every honest newspaper Of the land
will be compelled 10 give the world,
regarding the wasteful and foolish ex.
penditure Of the ordinary segenues, in
anticipation of receiving the proceeds
Of the moderate loan already authoriz-
ed, the capitalists Of England would
laugh in Hawaii's face at oyertures for
more money, while. American bankers
would as soon deposit their money in
the sea as in Hawaiian securities, UNI
less there is really a.game Of outbid.
ding each other between the two coun-
tries for mortgage on this Kingdom,
which is as yet hardly the case. Some
people may think it premature to dis
cuss this question until the results OF
the existing Loan Act are deposited in
the Hawaiian treasury. This is a
wrong view of the case, however, for il
the uncertO;n anticipation of the pres
emf loan being successful has caused
the grossest running riot with the
national revenues, words cannot be
found to express the apprehension that
must be felt by every right thinking
citizen and stakeholder in the country
as TO the degree OF madness that would
be.incited in the ruling policy by he
receipt Of the gold itself Should wise
couhsels not prevail against an extra
session and the enlargement OF the
scope OF the Loan Act then it viii be
the duty Of every person interested in
the good Of the nation to put forth the
utmost exertions for the killing OF the
new loan bill.

LEPRosy IN TAHITI.


Mr.. D. Atwa:er, the United States
Consul at Tahiti, was recently in San
Francisco. He was interviewed by
reporters, but as much that he said on
political mattell has been called in
question we do not care to republish
his remarks in that regard. Mr. At
waters statement respecting the intro
duction and spread of leprosy, how
ever, possesses a peculiar interest. 1t
appears that the whites, presumably
the French inhabitants, are more
affected by the scourge than the natives.
This circumstance might be of use TO
scientific investigators Of the disease.
If the whites in the Hawaiian group,
surrounded on every hand by the
plague, have comparative immunity
from its ravages, while the whites in
the neighboring group are its principal
victims before it has become very prev
alent, the reason might be found to liz
in different habits Of the two white
peoples. Thus the world could be in
formed of the habits Of life that Should
be avoided in order to prevent liabilit,
Of communities and individuals to b
